Starting to dj in 1995, Piwi made a long journey through electronic music.... the early years were dominated by house-music (1995-1998), then his interest was more in techno/electro (1998-2001) before he became completely addicted to broken-beats! Nevertheless breakbeat influences were always present in his music...d`n`b, garage, bigbeat, oldskool, and so on. Especially because his love to downbeat/triphop/chillout-music, which he constantly played beside all other styles. His first greater audience he found in 1997 when he started his weekly residency at the Stuttgart`s first and famouse club-bar "Berlin 030", where together with ozhers he played at the sunday-afterhour and other events until the club was closed in 1998 . The following years he played mostly on privat events and in irregular club gigs like the Peak-Club (Stuttgart) and Alter-Gueterbahnhof (Ludwigsburg). In the year 2000 he met his present collaborator Jay Vee. From that time on they are mostly playing as duo - and make the audience freak out! During this period they were playing at all kind of events with a huge range of different artist, sounds and audience. In 2004 JayVee and Piwi started the first NuSkool Breaks event on a monthly basis is Stuttgart called Lucky Break, which fast became one of the major breaks events in Germany. Beside the event series they are also running a weekly Lucky Break radio show every Thursday 6-8pm (CET) on www.dnbradio.net (voted as best internet radio by future-music magazine in 2005 and 2006). As well piwi still runs seperate projects/events like e.g. his "D.E.L. - downbeat-electronica-lounge", which he ran between 2004 and 2005 at the Lush Club-Bar in Stuttgart. Together with other local breakbeat activists the Lucky Break crew also started the very popular Breakbeat Summer- and Wintercamp parties at Rocker33/Tonstudio Mitte in Stuttgart. As well Piwi is reviewing and writing for Partysan Magazine and Resident Magazine.
